The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming-Chapter 554 - 548: The Extraordinary Use of Imperial Ganoderma

Chapter 554: Chapter 548: The Extraordinary Use of Imperial Ganoderma

“Really just a rumor after all?”

Theodore Lindwood couldn’t help but smile bitterly as he noticed the odd expressions that appeared on the two faces.

Indeed, if even the imperial city of the Umbral Kingdom, with its gathering of world-renowned healers and abundance of masters, couldn’t find a healer capable of curing Hemorrhagic Fever, how could such a person appear in the minor Silver-Abyssal City!

If anyone were to blame, it would be him for desperately seeking a cure without regard for propriety.

Theodore looked at Azir Nos with a face that reveled in his misfortune, yet whose decorum and etiquette were impeccable; he felt annoyed but was also somewhat accustomed to it.

So-called Sacred Race individuals are nothing but a group of people who outwardly express respect to the members of the royal family, yet arrogantly and rudely dare to regard themselves as the owner, a bunch of traitorous rebels!

…

“Strange, even a Level V S tier Longevity Elixir can attract thunder,” David Jones was somewhat surprised.

In the Flowery Kingdom, generally only elixirs of Level VI or higher were capable of attracting thunder during their creation. What made the Level V Longevity Elixir he crafted so special?

After thinking for a moment, David Jones’s mind moved, and he used Psychic Power to directly draw three elixirs, about the size of dragon eyes, from the elixir cauldron into his hand.

[Longevity Elixir]: A special elixir crafted with mermaid’s tears as the catalyst. A person can consume it only twice in their lifetime, with the first elixir extending life by sixty years and the second by forty years.

“Without activating the Creation Eye, it seems I can only craft Longevity Elixirs of good quality,” David Jones’s brows furrowed slightly, but there wasn’t a hint of disappointment on his face.

After all, the Longevity Elixir was mainly for Martin Houston’s use, and the quality reaching good meant that there was hardly any poison in the elixirs, essentially surpassing 99% of the Monarch-level external elixirs on the market in the Umbral Kingdom.

Of course, if it were for his own use, David Jones would choose a Perfect Longevity Elixir, regardless of how many times he failed in alchemy.

Storing the extra elixir, David Jones placed the other elixirs into a jade bottle and walked out of the Alchemy Chamber filled with rich fiery energy.

Waiting outside with a somewhat anxious expression was Martin Houston.

Without any intention of teasing him, David Jones casually threw the jade bottle over.

“One pill at a time, each half an hour apart. After taking two, lifespan will be extended by a hundred years.”

Martin Houston’s eyes shone as he eagerly took out an elixir and swallowed it. This act of complete trust caused David Jones to be momentarily stunned.

Goodness, no wonder Martin Houston could become the lord of the town with his approachable manner in conducting affairs.

As the elixir took effect, not only did Martin Houston’s face become much rosier, but his slightly white temples even began to sprout black hair.

“Excellent, excellent, excellent!”

Feeling how his nearly spent and withered body began to revive like a spring bloom under the vigorous influence of the elixir, regaining a significant amount of vitality, Martin Houston clasped his hands together and respectfully bowed to David Jones.

“No need for thanks for such a great favor. Here are the Purifying Sutra and Martial Mushroom I promised earlier. Please, accept them, sir. If you ever need help in the future, just send a letter, and I shall do my utmost to serve you.”

David Jones smiled slightly without declining Martin Houston’s promise, but what he cared more about was the Purifying Sutra and the Martial Mushroom floating mid-air.

[Purifying Sutra]: An alchemy scripture compiled by a student of the Ghost Emperor of the ancient Purifying Ghost sect, recording the teachings of his master. With the passage of time, the scripture retains only the complete King-level external alchemy techniques and details three King-level elixir formulas to enhance blood potency, as well as five Monarch-level elixir formulas for strengthening the body.

Compared to the Level VII and VIII elixir formulas granted by the Solar Stone, these King-level elixir formulas in the Purifying Sutra might seem a bit less significant, but they are the most suitable external alchemy scriptures David Jones currently has for studying the medical path of the Umbral system.

[Martial Mushroom]: A Level VII SS tier elixir, it is one of the main ingredients for crafting the ghost emperor elixir and can also be directly consumed after brewing, giving the consumer some characteristics of the Martial Emperor’s physique.

Note: After consuming by a Plant Pet, the medicine could potentially elevate the creature from a small grade to a substantial Level based on its strength, and the remaining medicinal power could also strengthen its Wood nature by 40% and increase the probability of breaking through to Class VII Overlord by 40% and to Class VIII Legend by 10%.

Having finished reading about the Martial Mushroom, David Jones felt his heart rate quicken slightly.

On one hand, he was astonished by the distinct uses of the Martial Mushroom under different cultivation systems.

On the other hand, he thought it was utterly wasteful for the Umbral Healers to use such precious innate elixirs to concoct the flawed ghost emperor elixirs!

“Wait, the data on the Martial Mushroom seems to indicate it has no drug resistance!” David Jones’s pupils contracted.

Seeing David Jones’s eyes firmly fixed on the Martial Mushroom, Martin Houston cautiously said, “Sir, is there something wrong with this Mushroom?”

This Martial Mushroom was a treasure he had plundered after killing many Ghost King Elites; it couldn’t possibly be a counterfeit!

David Jones put away the Martial Mushroom and casually explained, “It’s my first time seeing such a treasure as the Martial Mushroom, I was inevitably a bit stunned.”

He had discovered that, without Trainers present, the Umbral Kingdom was teeming with rare elixirs extinct in the Flowery Kingdom, which could greatly enhance the strength of Pets; it was an excellent treasure ground never explored by Trainers.

Just as Martin Houston was about to further deepen their rapport, a guard hurried over.

Upon hearing that the mansion’s master and the Prince had arrived, Martin Houston looked at David Jones with a complicated expression.

He had understood that David Jones would have his day to rise when he learned he could cure Hemorrhagic Fever, but he didn’t expect it to happen so quickly!

“Sir, the mansion’s master and His Highness the Prince would like to meet you. What do you say?” Martin Houston said, his expression troubled.

These days, almost every Ghost Noble with a bit of status was aware of the Prince’s renown as a failed cultivator.

As for the Prince’s military achievements, in a world where power is paramount, Ghost Elites hardly took notice. They even speculated it was a farce intentionally enacted by the Umbral Empress to shed the Prince’s reputation as a failure.

Yet, despite that, no one dared openly challenge the Prince’s authority. After all, the Heaven and Earth Demon Guard under the Empress’s command were not just for show; they were battle-hardened butchers, ready to wield their blades at anyone.

“Since the mansion’s master and His Highness the Prince have extended an invitation, I shall meet them,” David Jones replied indifferently.

To curry favor, Martin Houston schooled David Jones on the etiquette of facing the royal family during their walk to the mansion’s meeting hall and briefed him about the personalities and taboos of the two Ghost Nobles.

Soon, under Martin Houston’s guidance, David Jones slowly entered the luxurious hall.

First to catch his eye was a man sitting in the chief seat, who exuded nobility but whose presence was extremely weak.

Next to the man was a woman with a slender figure, wearing a veil on her face, and giving off an aura of immense danger.

Seated at the lower position was a middle-aged man with a calm complexion, whose surrounding soldiers were clearly led by him, making his true strength inscrutable.

Ignoring the curious glances around him, David Jones cupped his hands in a small salute, “David Jones greets His Highness the Prince and the Mansion’s Master.”

“Dispense with the formalities.”

Looking at the composed and unassuming David Jones, whose demeanor subtly hinted at a touch of nobility, the previously disappointed Theodore Lindwood suddenly showed a trace of interest, “Please, take a seat.”

“Such a weakling, with a frail body and feeble Psychic Power, at best only a King-level Healer!”

Lornaa Lindwood’s eyes glittered with Spirit, her interest greatly diminished, feeling as if her subordinates had played a trick on her.
